"With the volume of your voices, even sitting next to you might not be able to hear it, so where am I supposed to hear it?"
"If you didn't hear it, how would you know where she went to the countryside?"
"You asked this, how stupid would I be if I still didn't know that she went to the same place as us?" Li Chen said unhappily.
Liu Yunxiao thought about it and felt that this was quite true.
If the girl's destination was different from mine and others, I would definitely tell her directly and not ask like this.
Thinking of this, he showed an embarrassed expression and changed the subject, "Brother Chen, you are really smart. Let me ask you another question. Do you know her name?"
Li Chen: ...
Are you serious about this question?
Why don’t you ask me if I know her father and mother’s names?
Liu Yunxiao realized what was happening right after he finished speaking, so he pretended to cough twice, pretending he hadn't asked the question before, and quickly said, "Brother Chen, let me tell you, her last name is very interesting. It's Xiong, as in bear. This is the first time I've heard of this last name. Do you share the same opinion as me?"
"Yeah, that's the first time I've heard of it too." After responding, Li Chen asked, "Where is she from?"
"I'm from Zhou County, and my name is Xiong Xue."
"Zhou County, that's not far from our county. By the way, have you figured out your two questions?"
"I figured it out. It's related to her family's preference for boys over girls. Now she's going to Zichang County alone, so naturally she can't get together with anyone she knows. She only brought a few clothes and ten steamed buns with her from home, so she has to eat sparingly."
Hearing this, Li Chen couldn't help but glance at the skinny little Xiong Xue and cursed in a low voice, "What a beast! You're doing this just to kill her."
Ten steamed buns are not enough to eat for even one day, but now they have to last for several days. If they are delayed on the road for too long and fail to arrive at the place to get food in time, they may die.
"Her family just wants her dead." Liu Yunxiao sighed, "Her father wanted to sell her to a fool as a wife, but she refused to do so. Her father didn't want the money to go to waste, so he put the matter aside for the time being and figured out how to deal with her.
But she didn't expect that before she could figure out a solution to her problem, she would be sent to the countryside. This time, the money was completely lost. Her father was very angry. He heard that the weather in Heilongjiang was cold, so he directly reported her to the countryside and didn't even give her a cotton coat.
After she learned about this, she went to the neighborhood office to explain the situation. Fortunately, the clerk was kind and understood that her father wanted her dead and would not give her much food. So he changed her destination to a closer place so that she could arrive as soon as possible.
Li Chen was stunned. "Her father didn't give her a cotton coat, so where did she get this one?"
"She said it was secretly given to her by her married elder sister. I just touched it and it was very thin."
"He's a poor fellow, so if we can help him, we should do so. It's like doing a good deed."
After saying that, Li Chen took out five steamed buns and two salted eggs from the cloth bag on his waist and handed them to Liu Yunxiao, asking him to deliver them to Xiong Xue.
Liu Yunxiao took the thing and walked over, pointing at Li Chen and saying something.
Then Xiong Xue smiled at Li Chen and said two words, which seemed to be "thank you" from her lip movements.
Li Chen smiled and nodded in response.
Everyone else was shocked when they saw this scene. First, Liu Yunxiao delivered something to someone, and now Li Chen did the same. What was going on?
Although they were extremely confused, fortunately they knew that the real person, Xiong Xue, was sitting next to them, so they suppressed their curiosity and did not ask openly.
Only the person sitting on the other side of Li Chen asked in a low voice.
Li Chen smiled but did not answer.
Telling you one is like telling you everything.
Who knows if any of you will be assigned to the same place as Xiong Xue.
If they were really separated and didn't keep their mouths shut and spread the news, wouldn't Xiong Xue be bullied to death by the locals?
Seeing that he didn't want to talk, the man didn't insist and planned to ask Liu Yunxiao later.
Li Chen naturally would not give him this opportunity. As soon as Liu Yunxiao came back, he quickly told him the seriousness of the matter and asked him not to tell anyone else.
Even if it's your own brother, it's not allowed.
After hearing this, Liu Yunxiao nodded repeatedly.
Then everyone chatted and rested, rested and chatted again, until around eight o'clock in the morning.
Because they are getting off.
Transportation was extremely inconvenient in that era, including railways, so if they wanted to go to Zichang County, they could only arrive in Xi'an first.
After getting off the train, I saw several cars parked outside the train station. There were people in front of the cars holding loud speakers and shouting, "Youth who are going to Yanchang County, come here," and "Youth who are going to Shenmu County, come here."
Li Chen and others walked forward along the convoy, and soon they heard someone shouting Zichang County.
They immediately became alert and walked over quickly.
After getting on the train, it wasn't long before anyone else came out of the station.
The person shouting in front of the car put away the horn, climbed onto the car, then took out paper and pen from his pocket and asked everyone to say their name one by one.
Every time he heard a name, he would search for it on the paper for a while, then draw a line on it with a pen.
After the names were announced, the man nodded with satisfaction and said to everyone, "It's almost twenty hours from here to Zichang County. If you're tired, feel free to sleep in the car. I'll call you when we get there."
My goodness! When everyone heard this, their faces turned green.
I just took a train for more than 20 hours, and now I have to take a car for another 20 hours. Is this going to kill me?
